Barnet manager Dean Brennan has been named the Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month for August. The club announced the award after Brennan guided the Bees through an unbeaten opening month following their return to the English Football League.
Barnet FC reported the news, stating Brennan's side won two matches and drew one during the month. The victories came away from home against Shrewsbury Town and Exeter City, with a point secured against Cheltenham Town. This form extended the team's unbeaten league run to 14 games dating back to 14 March.
Dean Brennan was quick to share the credit for the recognition. "It’s a great honour to win the award, but this is a collective achievement for the entire football club," the manager said. He highlighted contributions from the chairman and board, his staff, the players, and all matchday and behind-the-scenes personnel. Brennan also praised the supporters for their backing during the positive start.
This recognition aligns with Barnet's strong early-season position. According to the latest league standings, Barnet sit third in Sky Bet League Two. Their record shows two wins, three draws, and no defeats. The team has scored 12 goals while conceding eight, giving them a positive goal difference.
This award marks a significant moment as Barnet re-establish themselves in the EFL. The club's 14-match unbeaten streak in the league is a foundation they will look to build upon. Midfielder Charlie Lakin's nomination for the league's Player of the Month award further shows the squad's strong performances. The team's next challenge is to maintain this momentum as they aim to close the gap to the league leaders.
